Over a month after launching his Praja Rajyam party, actor-politician Chiranjeevi will kick off his maiden mass-contact programme on October 9, coinciding with 'Vijaya Dasami'.
The tour would begin from Ichapuram in Srikakulam district, a small town along Orissa border, and cover the neighbouring Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts in north coastal region, party spokesman P Prabhakar said here today.
During the nine-day tour in the first phase, each district would be covered in three days.
Last month, Chiranjeevi had visited Siricilla, a handloom town in Karimnagar district, to meet the families of weavers who committed suicide in distress.
Chiranjeevi's criticism and more suicides by weavers in the last one week had put the Congress government in a spot.
Promising to end the misery of weavers if he comes to power, the actor formed a party panel, headed by a retired IAS officer, to study the crisis of the debt-ridden community and to suggest measures to address the issue.
He had also visited Polepalli in backward Mahabubnagar district to meet the families displaced by pharma Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
